Secret Postcard Sale
100 beautiful postcards. 1 great cause.
The Made in Essex Secret Postcard Sale is a fundraising event featuring 100 beautiful postcard-sized mini masterpieces created by the best local artists around, along with a few big national names too.
The 100 postcard creations are all exhibited at Emma Bell's wonderful gallery '70 The Broadway' in Leigh, and 100 Golden Tickets go on sale on the day the exhibition opens, sold on a first come first served basis (and they fly out the door!).
Those lucky enough to bagsy a Golden Ticket are guaranteed one of the beautiful postcards, allocated at random, so it's a lovely surprise which one is received and who created it.
It's a real feast for the eyes, and it's all for a wonderful cause too, with all the money raised going straight to Metal's amazing 'Connect & Create' project (previously NetPark Wellbeing) providing art classes for people living with dementia.
The first sale in 2019 raised over £2k, the second in March 2020 raised £3k, the third in 2025 raised over £4k and the next sale is coming up in February 2026.
This money has played a key role in keeping Metal's amazing initiative afloat, and in turn it has a real difference to the lives of some local people living with Dementia.
Thank you so much to everyone who's been involved in the event so far - all the wonderful artists who've donated a beautiful creation, the fabulous Emma Bell who’s let me use her beautiful gallery space, to all the wonderful Golden Ticket buyers & all at Connect & Create. You are all GREAT X
